What is EDIEL?
In December 1993, the Nordic power exchange Nord Pool (then called Statnett Marked) started the project EDC, Electronic Data Communication within the Power Industry. There was a desire to standardise the exchange of information between the exchange and its clients.

In autumn 1997, a requirement concerning the use of the Ediel standard was incorporated into the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate’s guidelines.
